According to Android Police, Google is currently working on a new operating system(OS). But exactly what it’s designed to do remains unknown.
Android Police spotted a recently published page on popular coding site GitHub where Google asks for help from outside programmers to build a new operating system called Fuchsia.
While Google is keeping most details about the new project secret, it is clearly on the GitHub page that its aim it to build a new operating system.
Google also wrote: “Pink + Purple = Fuchsia". Which I think is a hint at something.
Google owns Android - the most used mobile operating system. It also has Chrome OS for computers and Android Wear for wearable devices, among others.
However, all these operating systems have one thing in common: They are all built on Linux an open-source operating system.
Fuchsia, on the other hand, is to be built on Magenta (what's with all the colors?) a Linux alternative.
The GitHub page suggests that Google is using different programming languages to create apps for the operating system that it doesn’t use in Android OS or Chrome OS.
The million-Naira question now is: What is Google up to? What kind of devices would run Fuchsia? Android Police believes that Google using Magenta instead of Linux suggests that the project could be an operating system designed for different “embedded” devices, like an in-car system with GPS functionality.
Public opinion on Twitter have suggested that Fuchsia could be used on computers Google could produce later.
Some also say that Fuchsia OS could one day replace Android and Chrome OS by becoming a single operating system for all Google-based devices.
Ultimately, no one knows what Google intends to do with the new fuchsia OS but we will know what is finally unveiled.
